After my positive review of TiGLON (from JAPAN, since 2008 by Mr.KENTARO OKINO) TPL-3000A WHITE TIGER AC Flagship/ Exclusive power cord,…Ms.Kenix Chua of BEGINS ACOUSTIC (MALAYSIA) SDN BHD proposed that I should give a listen to/ review their TiGLON TPL-2000SP Flagship speaker cable,…
and she believed that I would be ‘SURPRISED‘ (?).
Being a ‘Curious Cat‘, I did google their website and found the following Description of the said speaker cable,
“TPL-2000SP
(Launch date) August 20, 2022
As the culmination of the TIGLON Premium Line 2000 Series (TPL-2000), we have produced a speaker cable, the flagship model that adopts all the technologies of the “TPL-2000A” power cable, which won the “Audio Accessory Excellence Award Grand Prix” and the “MJ Technology of the Year Excellence Award” in 2019 and 2020,...and also adopts all the technologies in “TPL-2000RX” line cable, which similarly won the “Audio Accessory Excellence Award Grand Prix” and “MJ Technology of the Year Excellence Award” in 2019 and 2020.
Dip-Formed Oxygen-Free Copper (DF-OCFCs), which is said to be a miraculous conductor, is twisted into a revolver strand of our own devising, and a “Magnesium Shield,” a World-Patented Technology, is applied to the structure.
The outer jacket is made of a special Outer Tube used in the aviation industry and treated with antistatic treatment, and tuned up with “H.S.E Grande”, an advanced version of our original burn-in technology newly introduced for 2000SP. The “Advanced Magnesium Filter (AMF)”, a Patented Technology that strongly suppresses lateral and vertical vibration of the cable, and the “Super Clear Isolator”, a special insulator, have been used to pursue a faithful sound field and a high sense of quietness to the limit. The cable is made of Magnesium“.
Structure.
Conductor DF-OFC 5.5sq 2-core
Insulator Super Clear Isolator
Shield Magnesium shield
Outer sheath Ultraflex sheath + antistatic jacket
After I have learnt and reviewed the TiGLON TPL-3000A WHITE TIGER AC, I would not be surprised of their cables/ products to…
have an Impressive Specifications/ Features and Attention to Manufacture.
What was it that Ms.Kenix Chua was trying to hint? (I try not to investigate further,…but lingered still that question/ thought)
Ultimately, the main objective here was to listen/ review the speaker cable, the TiGLON TPL-2000SP.
I replaced my current reference speaker cable, the SKOGRAND SILVERSPINE SC of 3m pair (retail Euro €42,000 or Ringgit Malaysia RM203,053.20) to the TiGLON TPL-2000SP of 2.5m pair,…between the VITUS AUDIO MASTERPIECE MP-M201AF mono amplifiers to the MAGICO M2 loudspeakers.
The main Digital Streamer used was the HIFI ROSE RS150B (mainly Tidal), connected with the TiGLON TPL-3000A WHITE TIGER AC Flagship/ Exclusive power cord, and the main preamplifier used was the FM ACOUSTICS 268C, throughout the review.
I NEED TO REPOSITION MY LOUDSPEAKER…(ONLY) SLIGHTLY.
The initial impression of the newly connected TiGLON TPL-2000SP was;
‘I need time to get use to the Aural Presentation’.
I remembered that I messaged Ms.Kenix there and then, to ask whether the speaker cables were burnt in?…she replied affirmative. Then, I knew that repositioning the loudspeakers from that current position maybe an option,…
to better understand and appreciate the ‘Attributes‘ of the TiGLON TPL-2000SP.
After some attempts, I finally settled with only a Slight Widening of the loudspeakers from their previous positions, and without much change to the Toe-In angle from the previous angle.
The above episode maybe due to the Differences in ‘Attributes‘ between the SKOGRAND SILVERSPINE SC with the TiGLON TPL-2000SP,…
or that the TiGLON TPL-2000SP just needed time to Settle-In in my audio system (?).
After some weeks of listening to the TiGLON TPL-2000SP, I understood and appreciated more of its attributes to the audio system.
The inclusion of the TiGLON TPL-2000SP presented the Subtleties and Minute Nuances in Details that held true to the ‘Multiple Levels of Emotions‘ poured into the lyrics by the top-selling Japanese vocalist and songwriter of all time, Ms.Hikaru Utada at her 1999 debut track ‘First Love‘.
Hearing that Vocalisation as it was Meant To Be (/Recorded)…
brought about the understanding and appreciation of the artist’s Level of Artistry, and that proved…
the TiGLON TPL-2000SP was No Doubt a Formidable Conduit of Resolution…
especially, the Richness in Details at the Mid frequencies.
In addition to the presentation of much details at the vocalisation, I found it to have Presence, Palpability and Density at Mr.Amos Lee‘s, especially when he sang the track ‘Arms of a Woman‘ ,…
and that Distinguished, Separated and Floated his Voice and Imaging, separated from the accompanied instruments.
That too, has lent a Sense of Believability to the Staging of Images (between the Vocalist and the Instrumentalists) of the entire Musical Presentation at my Audio Den.
Here, at ‘Claustrophobia‘ by the Grammy Award-winning Jazz Drummer Mr.Antonio Sanchez, the Staging of the drum set (collection of drums, cymbals, and other auxiliary percussion instruments) may be Believable, but the Space between the different pieces were not as Distance and filled with Air (Airiness) that I would like and have heard (it could be argued that such be considered Dry...comparatively, and not a caveat),…
however, the Background was truly Dark/ Black (almost to Nothingness) though.
Impressively, each drum beat and/ or stroke was presented with Articulation, Precision, Definition, (heavier) Weight and (stronger) Attack that…
befitted an Actual Drum Set being played Hard in my Audio Den.
Truly, an impressive delivery of the Low frequencies.
At the Electronic Dance Music (EDM) track ‘Animals‘ by Mr.Martin Garrix, the TiGLON TPL-2000SP was (more than) able to present the Full Volume of the ‘Mid to Lowest Octaves‘ with Heavier Weight, Stronger Attack,…
and yet maintain a Good Grip at Tonality and (even the Minute) Detailing at (even) the Hardest of Passage.
At the track ‘Blast from the East‘, it was obvious how transparent the TiGLON TPL-2000SP was to Mr.Jeff Beck‘s ‘Artistry and Signature Sound‘, as a Guitarist;…”Piercing, Floating, Stinging, Sustaining Single-Note Melodies, Harmonics, Constrasting Tones”,…
and his Drives and Energies at the Strings of his Guitar that Hit and Snapped (at the listeners)!
A testament to the delivery of the energy at the High(er) frequencies.
At ‘Sarasate: Carmen Fantasy, Op.25 – I. Moderato‘, the TiGLON TPL-2000SP was equally transparent to Ms.Hilary Hahn‘s “Bashian readings of Sarasate” (and “steely mannerism” at the violin),…presented the violinist and her instrument with Dimension, Density, Palpability, Weight and,…
‘Stood in Front‘ (the impression) and Unperturbed even by the Grandeur and Expansiveness of an Orchestra, the Frankfurt Radio Symphony,…
and that…
Completed the Intended Recorded Presentation.
I WAS SURPRISED, INDEED!
The Attributes, though Impressive, of the TiGLON TPL-2000SP were for me, as Expected (Given)…after my positive experiences with their TiGLON TPL-3000A WHITE TIGER AC, that I ended up with one,…however,
I was not (at all!) prepared to learn of its reasonable retail price at Ringgit Malaysia RM10,130 per 2.5m pair.
The TiGLON TPL-2000SP was indeed a…
